| Pisco es muy bueno en Pisco de Elqui! |
Our first steps alone in South America, trying to get understood. A peaceful place which is Valle de Elqui and particularly Pisco de Elqui where of course we went to visit 'Los Ninos' for a Pisco tour & degustation! Only guests in the hotel, we had a quiet & lovely time. Very hearty locals who are up for taking the hitchhikers who we were for 1 day. The only shame is that we did not get the chance to go to the Mamalluca Observatory to admire the moon from closer and Saturn with its white rings... Blue sky but not clear enough...
Pisco (from Quechua: pisqu, little bird) is a strong, colorless grape brandy produced in Chile and Peru. It was developed by Spanish settlers in the 16th century as a cheaper alternative to orujo, a pomace brandy that was being imported from Spain.
